Sports reviews of DynaFlex Docking Station with Amber Powerball 12080 Strengthening System
Customer Review: I'm addicted!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This little ball is fantastic. It provides quite a workout for my forearms, and I actually get a workout because it's fun to use. I know that the novelty will wear off eventually, but I can't stop using it at the moment. Even though my arms are tired, I still find myself spooling it up for another go! It's difficult to convey, but it truly is tiring after about a minute, at which point I need to switch arms (although I'm sure that I'll build up stamina). It's a good feeling, though, and let's me know that I'm working out my arms.
It does take a little while to get the hang of starting it, at least for me and those that I've talked to. In fact, I thought that mine was defective when I first tried it. If you have trouble, just give it a little time. The key for me was to get it going past a critical speed at which point I could get in a rhythm with it and speed it up. The starter string works very well for me (I'd like to point out that there are three holes that the string will fit into, two of which have LEDs at the bottom, so use the hole that doesn't have the LEDs). The docking station hasn't worked for me at all, though. Before the ball gets spooled up, the gyro turns it off center so that the spinner in the base actually causes the ball to stop. Kind of a waste for me, seeing as how well the string works. It also only took about a day to get good enough to start it without the string by just using my hand.
I would like to point something out that I missed when I was making my purchase. Despite the "Product Features" listed for this (amber) version and the blue version being identical at the time that I'm writing this, the blue version is actually capable of higher RPMs (18k versus 13k) and more torque (40 lbs instead of 35 lbs). They are described correctly further down on the page, but I didn't notice it there. I thought that I was simply choosing between two colors and not actually getting a less capable Powerball. Add in that the blue version is currently cheaper, and I would have gone with the blue one. I wanted to point that out in case anyone else focused on the top feature listings and missed those two numbers being different in the detailed write-ups.
Despite the base not working for me and the small amount of regret in not getting the blue version, I am extremely happy with this product. I really do consider it fun to use, the lights on it look cool when it's spinning, it even sounds cool when it starts to rev up, and it is more of a workout than I had anticipated. I highly recommend giving one a try, but consider getting the blue version without the base (if it's cheaper without the base).
